A good-looking piece of loop!

You need to give the player some guidance. Some things take energy and sometimes sleeping recovers it and sometimes eating does and I'll just die randomly. I don't know what to do to survive. If you add in some guidance. This could be a good life simulator.

Is there a way to increase your energy? Because right now it seems that you can only do Eat Sleep and any other thing. I love the aesthetics! The game feels and looks very relaxing! Well done!

there's a lot of potential in this game but I wish the death animation was skippable or at least shorter, it is sick though. I want to say that there should be some sort of indication for what the player needs but if the death animation was shorter that may not be a problem.

Looks nice, feels morbid thematically. Not really sure what to do other than eat sleep play and die though, maybe that's the intent?

Loved the concept for this game! Additionally, all the graphics were on point (especially the reset animation, although maybe it was a bit long?) Altogether a good game that talks about the repetition found in everyday life.

Cool reset animation, but kinda long, wish it was quicker or skip-pable. I tried to just eat and sleep but died from the flu. So I tried to eat sleep and clean but died from poverty at 55? Is there a way to win?

Very futile very realistic.

@cireneikual222464 Yes, that was the intent. Thanks for playing

@ismael-rodriguez The best you can is is to die from old age. To not die by poverty you need to work at least once. To work you need to go to school and study at least one. You can find the workplace at the rightmost side of the map.

I really like the abstract pixel effects during the "respawn". That's very well made. I wonder how you did it? But during the gameplay I felt really lost. I had no idea what to do and died a lot. It felt like a lot of trial and error. :(

@tosmaster Dying over and over again is the point of the game. You can't escape it one way or another. I made those effects with unity particle system

Nice game

I died 4 times. The respawn effect is long. Where is mom and dad? :) Good job.
